No problem and I was an elinter

You should have everything you need out of the box.    Not looked at the specks but prob has WiFi, if want to hard wire will need a cable from any store that sells Ethernet cables or may already have one.

 

Western Digital has all sorts of portable drive sizes with backup software and can attach for backup / storage if fill the 1TB, nothing needed, ready to go out of the box.

 

If you planning to hook other stuff up would need to detail that but may just need a USB Hub if have more than the Ports available.

Hello! hope you are well and doing good. I have readed you thread and I just want to say that, When you replace your old Dell desktop with a refurbished one, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure the new desktop has the right ports to connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If not, you may need adapters or special cords.
Next, you can transfer your files by loading them onto a USB drive. Once you have the new desktop set up, simply plug in the USB drive and copy the files over. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask for assistance. It's also a good idea to regularly back up your important files for extra security.
